2008 on its final run
The partygoers gearing up to wave goodbye
People in the homes, shopping malls, open fields
Night clubs, dancing halls, cheering it on
When the clock strikes at midnight
The roaring cry colorful lights in the sky
The history of 2008
I say it was the political maturity
Of the people willing to start a new
Clipped the ruling elites
Let the opposition has a chance to rule
Before the big one in 4 years time
The end of 2008
The financial turmoil in most countries
Feeling the heat and need of bailout
The government acted quickly to stall the collapse
Tomorrow it is 2009
A bad start with economic hiccups
People worry about jobs and security
The New Year will not bring much cheer
When the party is over
The reality will sink
The drunkards try to forget
About the diminishing returns
